Willie Mason joins Andrew Voss to talk about his NRL career and life after football | The Fan

[@iamyouyouareme9905]

My doko Willie's teeth is brighter than my future.

[@hitmanhearns8350]

Miss the old days of Big Willie and The Ogre. They were both Great Players in their primes.

[@hitmanhearns8350]

@Super Saiyan Those were the day's. The Fab 4 were all very great Fighters.

[@hitmanhearns8350]

@Super Saiyan. That Broncos Pack was insanely good.

[@hitmanhearns8350]

@Super Saiyan. Yeah I heard that story too. It wouldn't surprise me as The Mafia ran Boxing back in the day. They definitely got to Sonny Liston.

[@quincy3719]

One of the great players n characters of rugby league it was a pleasure seeing this man grow

[@sonnQ]

True dat. When he said he wants to be remembered as a good father and friend - he has come full circle.

[@PeJay154]

Willy Mason does not fall into the category of great players.

[@jamesderwalt7869]

@.J Sheedy really? He helped Bulldogs win a championship & won Clive Churchill that year, was 1 of the if not the most impactful props for few years. Australia honours along with NSW where he dominated. I'd easily say he's a great player... How was he not?

[@Cloncurryboi88]

met him at Madcow in Townsville during his time at cowboys...legend!

[@jasonharvey1013]

He came to Ulladulla as a player of the NSW team and the footy show were also there. Willie really stood out that afternoon as a great ambassador for the game. He really put the effort in with all the kids a the junior coaching clinic, playing footy with them right to the end of the session and afterwards whilst the remainder of his team seemed in a hurry to jump on the bus and get out of there, came all the way over to where the hundreds of locals were, said g'day, signed autographs gave all the elderly ladies a cuddle. You showed us a little bit about yourself that afternoon Willie. Legend on and off the field. Thanks for the memories.

[@Marco-bc4qh]

The Fan is such a good segment. No Nonsense just great NRL memories.

[@oxymaiz5662]

Look at his new pearly whites! Love willie as a player and character

[@joshuahack3231]

The teeth on the man dahahaha

[@craigwilson3170]

As a kiwi and Broncos fan, I still had a lot of time for Mason. Destructive when he was at the peak of his powers.

[@rotam8680]

watching him and ogre as a kid was so inspiring

[@beyondmindsprison]

One of the great old boys....🔵🔴 you got some good lifelong mates out of that stellar career Big Willie....I had the pleasure to be coached by nugget Perry what a great human being....love to meet ya one day what a champ!!! Loved your passion 4 the game much respect bruz ✊🏽✊🏽

[@ronanrogers4127]

This Rabbitohs supporter always thought Willie was the biz. Great player. Great hair. Speaks very well. Seems to be in a good place. Well played.

[@spicyrooster6539]

Awesome interview grew up watching the big fella play. Good to see he’s doing well

[@BH.2002]

Shaq of NRL

Goes to show you how passionate he is, he still has his mouthguard in

Vossy this is gold mate. Willie 24 tests for Aust makes him a great, no doubts.

Willie mason is a legend in football an equal to so many others.

Loved him at Newcastle. He was a leader.

[@h8evil685]

The Press is to blame for your Legacy not reaching what it deserves... You'll always be a Champion... Thanks for the Memories... Kia Kaha

[@danielbowater1585]

This was an okay interview， but some stupid questions and key questions missing. Im pretty sure the audience would have liked to hear what hes doing now ， his plans for the future and how he is giving back to the game. Making nearly the whole thing about the afro ruined it.

[@davidanthony6222]

The dogs should of won more compa between 2000 and 2007

[@jeromeierome4523]

As a Storm supporter I have always loved watching big Willie. He is such a well spoken and obviously an intelligent man. It wouldn’t be so bad to have him in the commentary box

[@gabbyt98]

As a fellow storm supporter I never got to watch him but I enjoy listening to his takes on the game

[@jn8118]

He visited my sick cousin in hospital he has a good heart

[@TIMMAHHHH]

7:34 Flamin galah in the background is absolutely giving that kid a hiding what a weapon

Bwhahahaha so true lmao

[@sandpaper631]

Making Fiji proud Mason!! wp

[@Alekosdw]

Lol he’s Tongan

[@Alekosdw]

I think Voss undermines mason like he was kinda average He was the best player in the comp by far ! in terms of tackle breaks and metres made - aggression - speed for his size between the years of 2001-2007

[@KingMatto]

would love to know the full story of his Bulldogs exit, seems like quite a long one if it started in 2004 as he says.

[@Alekosdw]

He an folkes fell out (Coach)

[@tast7017]

those teeth are ridiculous lol

[@KSwift94]

Doggies faithful forgive you big willie! Will always be a doggie! The pack that scared every NRL team in the comp, dogzofwar04! Bulldogs Legend!

[@ianclifford3947]

I think Bulldogs fans have forgiven him for leaving, because he always speaks for love of the club and his play in the Legends. One of my favourites.

[@RayK236]

Loved your style and how u held your self on the field, I watched that kiwis game, And yes i thought you were disrespecting the haka but hearing this i do apologize man. P.S Up The Mighty NSW Blues......

[@trentrowland5983]
